I am about to start training a female client that has polio and atrophy in one leg. Any suggestions for strength training and cardio? Thanks!

Hi Crystal
did you check the ACSM guidelines to see if there is anything about polio? there may be. the ACSM has a good on training special needs people
depending on how severe the polio is try circuits if possible but double check against what ACSM says
